A rocket hit an educational institute in Ashkelon Tuesday afternoon, causing no injuries. Eleven rockets have been fired at the area since the morning hours, none of them long-range rockets.

 

At about 2:45 pm three rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed in open fields near Sderot and in the Eshkol Regional Council. Shortly later a fourth rocket was fired on Ashkelon and exploded in an open area as well.

Several hours earlier, mortar shells were fired on an open area in the Sdot Negev Regional Council, again causing no damage or injures.
